Don Rockwell's DC Dining Guide is the largest single-city restaurant guide in the world.
Michelin Paris covers 600+ restaurants; we cover 700+ just in DC.

If you add MD and VA, you can easily double that number. If you add restaurants that have closed (which we keep track of), you can triple it. Our Dining Guide covers thousands of restaurants.
